Strategies for getting the best prices:
* the best prices will be for those departing within the next 60 days, go on-line for those…
* for Summer vacations wait a few more weeks when we will see the fares drop…bottom line is that if you are paying more than $300 for a domestic airfare this Summer, you are paying too much…you can get coast-to-coast flights for $199.
* Cheapest days of the week to travel are Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday.
* Cheapest time to shop for airfare is just after midnight Tuesday (the wee hours of Wed). Every Friday the price war cycle begins by the low cost carriers dropping their prices and the big carriers matching. The fares continue to drop daily until their final drop in price Tuesday. Those fares are typically loaded into computer systems to update at midnight on Tuesday. So book just shortly after midnight to ensure you get seats before they sell out.
* Do your homework: compare fares on-line, sign up for e-mail alerts from airlines, consider signing up for Twitter and follow airlines
